Microsoft teamed up with ICICI Bank to “enable customers to enjoy the benefits of Digital Entertainment products”. This initiative gives India’s technology savvy emerging middle class discounts on Samsung, Kodak, and Xbox 360 products. When you purchase a wireless controller with the Xbox 360 Credit Card you get 10% off. Buy games like Dead Rising, Dead or Alive 4 or Gears of War and you get to take 15% off the price. It looks like orders have to be completed at an online store, but it’s a creative marketing tie-in to boost Xbox 360 sales in a developing nation.  

 

I predict this promotion will be more successful than the pay for restaurant discounts Xbox Diamond card.
